Snake Seed Necklace

Vera Mwethya lives in Nairobi, Kenya. She is one of three. Her parents are both still living along with her sister and brother. She was sick until she was 15 years old. This illness made it difficult for her to do physical labor. She is slow and methodical but eventually she will complete her work. She has a good imagination and uses it to create her jewelry designs.



Her mother taught her how to sew. She creates table mats, aprons, pot holders and bed spreads using brightly printed African fabrics as well as earrings and bracelets.

How the bracelet gets its name is because of the way it wraps around the wrist.
